Scenic bike route through the idyllic landscape in the canton of Schwyz from Einsiedeln over the Haggenegg to Schwyz.

The stage from Einsiedeln to the Alptal rolls leisurely on secondary and main roads to Brunni. Here begins the ascent to the Haggenegg, a hiking paradise of a special kind! Not without reason, because here opens up a panorama of unique character: Lake Lauerz, Rigi, Lake Lucerne and the Mythen.
With this view at your side, it is a particular pleasure to head for the descent to Schwyz.
